Growth and fluorescence spectra of LiNbO3 single crystals doped with Eu3+ by Bridgman method

Sol–gel synthesis and the luminescent properties of CaNb2O6 phosphor powders

“…The electro-optical and the luminescent properties of metal niobates of LiNbO 3 [1], KNbO 3 [2], LnNbO 4 (Ln = La, Gd, and Y) [3,4] and ANb 2 O 6 (A = Ba, Sr and Ca) [5][6][7] compounds have been studied extensively. The initial investigations of calcium niobate CaNb 2 O 6 was of interest because this particular crystal has shown to be a strong source of coherent light that could be useful in holography applications [8].…”
